I understand where everyone is coming from about the poor results with the TVS by so many, but you have to realize that most of the people posting numbers are just very basic bolt ons and tune.
I didn't originally plan to take my car as far as I have, and when I bought the TVS I didn't plan on taking it much further than a tune and hope for somewhere in the 320's WHP with the bolt ons I have currently. Today I did a compression test, and to say the least, I will be taking this build further than I ever planned. I have a spare head on the way now, it will be ported with a mild valve job, and have spring/retainers upgraded to rev to 8k, and I will be getting stock compression Diamond pistons as well, since the head will be off the car anyway. I plan on breaking that setup in (pistons/rings) on the 80mm pulley, then when the tune is done, I will hit the dyno hoping for mid 300's. At that point, I may be running out of fuel with the 60lb injectors, so I will probably be going return style, but might go 79's instead (will be doing research). If it does become necessary to upgrade fuel, I will also be dropping pulley sizes. When all is said and done, I hope to see upper 300's which I think is attainable. This will of course be over the next year or two. The head and pistons will be going in next spring/summer unless something happens and I dont have the same income I currently have.
Thats just a little insight of my current plans.

THanks guys appreciate it. Alot of good sportsmanship which I appreciate. Ill be honest though if i didnt run and had to vote this month i would have a hard time b/w AJ and OneCOLDBIZL272. AJ has a nice clean TVS setup. But COLDBIZL has a sick engine build making power that a TVS usually puts out
now your going to have a hard choice now that you won.....picking one pic that you want the whole site to see on the front page.....lol...that would be hard to pic for me....for anyone for that matter.
